Description

Notice of Transition of the NHTSA managed Down The Road (DTR) 
Radar Speed Measuring Device (SMD) Conforming Products List (CPL) 
program to an industry-based Verification Program - The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 
provides notice to the public that the Conforming Products List (CPL) 
maintained and updated by NHTSA for Down The Road (DTR) radar speed 
measuring devices will be discontinued. A new industry-based product 
Verification Program has been developed to confirm that DTR radar speed 
measuring devices conform to certain minimum specifications. The new 
industry-based product Verification Program will provide manufacturers 
the flexibility to confirm conformance with any testing entity as long 
as the entity can fulfill the requirements for testing and verifying 
device compliance with the established performance specifications, 
testing protocols and laboratory accreditation requirements of the 
industry-based Verification Program. To afford manufacturers time to 
transition to the new program, NHTSA will maintain the CPL for one year 
after the date of this notice.>Under the new Verification Program, a DTR radar speed measuring 
device manufacturer can use an accredited testing entity to verify that 
its speed measuring device conforms to an established performance 
standard and will be placed on a verified products list maintained by 
the Verification Program. Please refer to the NIST website for a list 
of available Verification Programs: https://www.nist.gov/mml/mmsd/security-technologies-group/down-road-dtr-radar. The new Verification 
Program will provide manufacturers with a proven method of 
demonstrating compliance to the minimum performance specifications, 
will empower end-users to make better purchasing decisions, and benefit 
manufacturers as products can quickly gain market acceptance.>Accordingly, as of the date of this publication, NHTSA will no 
longer perform CPL processing under the Interim Administrative Guide 
for the Traffic Enforcement Technologies Program.
